These are awesome, thanks!

there's a new trend where the psychedelic label is used to categorize a lot of folkloric music from South America and Africa...

I'm tired of it... just get over it u privileged hippies/hipsters that dress like homeless (actually come from wealthy families) and do a gap year in India to "find themselves"... 

most of the stuff I post in the world music and incredible music from africa threads falls into this category...
